Screaming and shouting could be heard from outside the classroom and that could only mean one thing - Beomgyu (the schools most notorious player) has arrived.
If only they knew, if only they knew.
I grabbed the books I needed for first period and closed my locker before walking down the corridor to the vending machine. "Hey sis!" Just as I got out a coin someone had to shout in my ear causing me to drop it. "What the heck Kai?!" I turned to face the tall boy who I was unfortunately biologically related to. "What? Can I not say hi to my lil sis?" Quoting the word 'lil' as if it wasn't said enough already. "I'm not lil just the average height of a woman, now MOVE!" I pushed him to the side and headed to class.
Students were piling into the room just as I arrived including Beomgyu. "Hey Y/N!" I rolled my eyes and ignored him as usual. "Didn't you hear me, I said hey?" Still I didn't reply and focused on the book I was then reading. "Have you revised for the exam because I haven't but it's not that important any—" "CAN YOU JUST LEAVE ME ALONE?!" Everyone's eyes were now on me and I felt my cheeks heat up due to the burning frustration growing within me. "Do you not get the hint Beomgyu I don't wanna speak to you, I don't wanna be around you heck I don't wanna breathe the same air as you but thats impossible because you're everywhere that you're not supposed to be. I thought my reaction to you was obvious for you to understand I don't wanna be associated with you. So please just leave me alone and let me live without the disturbance of yourself."
Gathering my equipment I rushed out the class with tears pricking my eyes. A sudden pain stung me in the heart and I felt so bad but I only acted like that because of the growing annoyance Beomgyu had on me. I really am not like this. I ran past the bustling students and towards the rooftop. No one other than the janitor was prohibited to go up there but he had seen me often enough to give me my own set of keys. Bless him.
I leaned back against the freezing wall and a list of once forgotten memories flooded back into my mind.
Me and Beomgyu were, once in this life, best friends but after he moved to the States I started to feel targeted by everyone. I was constantly bullied and made fun of and never heard from childhood best friend adding on to the devastation. No one in my family knew about my suffering as I kept it a secret. So after moving to Seoul and starting a new life in high school I became this different person where I blocked everyone out and built this invisible wall that I promised myself I wouldn't let anyone break down to get close to me.
But when I found out that Beomgyu was studying at the same school I felt hatred for him and I know it sounds petty but how do you accept to come back into ones life after being away for so long.
I heard the creak of the roof door, suggesting that there was someone else here too. "Y/N?"
A familiar voice interrupted the silence. A voice that along time ago would have had me smiling but has me rolling my eyes. I ignored the voice and looked on into the distance. The cold breeze brushing against my teary face, it felt good to cry once in a while. Made me feel at ease and let out words too powerful to be said.
"Y/N I don't know what's happened over the few years I left but you've changed, and not in a good way. If I was to hear from someone else the things you just said to me I would've laughed because you're not the type to break out like that especially in front of others. I want us to be like before, before everything happened, before I moved, before you moved and ignore the past. Even if you are mad, please just hear me out because the Y/N I knew -- "
"The Y/N you knew doesn't exist so get your head out the gutter and live reality. Things change and people move on. I use to stay up late on different occasions to call you and even after the first year I still did so because you know why? You wanna know why I did that?! CAUSE I HAD F*KING HOPE! Hope that you'd even see my miss calls, messages; voice mails. I guess even after coming back and re-colliding in the same school you were unable to even mutter a quick hello."
"Im sorry and —" "Don't be." You're too late to pick up and fix the broken pieces of my once open heart.
Walking right past him I headed for the stairs but also managed to still hear the faint whisper of a I love you.
The truth of the matter is that there a lot of people we meet in our lifetimes who when they leave for sometime we miss dearly but shouldn't easily accept back. And that's for best.

Hi! It's been sooooo long and I'm so sorry for keeping you waiting but thankful to those who did and didn't give up on me. I've been busy with school, exams and just started my holidays and spent some quality time with family first. But I'm back now and expect some quality content. This was a requested story by a lovely reader. I did kinda change a bit of the original idea but I hope both the requester; everyone else really enjoys it. Wanted to try out something new where the storyline isn't an expected happy ending but one that it quite realistic. Thank you for reading and sys❤️
